Chiang Mai Hot!
"Boy was a terrific guide. Chiang Mai was like an inferno on the day of the tour; but Boy was completely flexible and we used his car to see the sights. He was right on time, very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and insightful. Communication was easy, both through chats and when we were together. His English is really excellent. He has a passion for his city, and it comes through clearly as he guides you along the way. I would highly recommend him."

Wonderful guide!
"We were very happy with the tours that we took with Purichat (May). We did the half day Chiang Mai hidden gems tour as well as the full day Doi Inthanon trip. May was very professional, highly informative and thought of the many little things that made the tours very comfortable and easy for us (she even recommends local restaurants which had delicious food!). For the hidden gems tour, she showed us around the local market and temples. For the Doi Inthanon trip, she even walked with us and the Karen hill tribe guide for the Mae Kew Pan nature hike and happily took many photos for us along the way and explained the various trees and plants. We would highly recommend May to show you around Chiang Mai and we would be happy to have her as a tour guide the next we are there. Thank you May! "

Delicious night in Chiang Mai
"When in Chiang Mai don’t pass up the opportunity to go on the 10 Tasting Food tour with May or Naphet. Both are extremely knowledgeable on all things Thai, food and Chiang Mai. Both are excellent guides and wonderful people to spend a few hours with. The food was amazing as well. "

Nice, knowledgeable & very accommodating.
"We had 2 full day tours with Minty during our stay in Chiang Mai and we were very pleased. She was prompt, knowledgeable, communicated well, answered all of our questions, was flexible when we requested a change and was very kind. The transportation was comfortable and clean as well. "

Great tour
"Kit was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Learned lots about Buddhism. Seeing the sunrise and taking part of the food offering was very special. Kit had everything timed perfectly. It was wonderful to see the temple at such a quiet time was magical. The second temple was very unique and cool on its own. Kit was great and allowed us to walk the Monk trail down which was beautiful. Would recommend!!"

Unbelievably Unqiue Experience
"Kit was a fantastic tour guide, and what made the trip special was his combination of first-hand experiences as a monk and knowledge of the material being presented. We were initially concerned about the early wake up call with two small kids, but Kit’s storytelling kept them interested throughout the morning. Cannot recommend highly enough!!"

Great Day and a Must Do
"My husband and I were extremely pleased with how professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable Minty was. We flew into Chiang Mai only for this day tour and she picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. She came prepared with snacks and water for the drive to Chiang Rai and provided us with a lot of information about the locals, history, and even took us to the best Curry Noodle place I’ve ever been to. She was great company and assisted us with photos, translating when we needed assistance, and gave us very useful guidance before entering the temples. We absolutely loved our day with Minty and we highly recommend this tour."

Book Naphat for a very special experience
"I chose this tour and Naphat as our guide as we wanted to have an experience which helped us better understand Buddhism as well as seeing all the charming side of this great city. Naphat felt like a friend by the end of the tour and we would like to come back again one day and share more stories about our spiritual journey, Naphat is quite special and if you want to hear more about the spiritual aspect then she is indeed the guide for you. The old town is just brilliant and Naphat will point out many places to go to in the day and evening 😍"

Excellent food tour
"My family of four had a really special time with Purichat. We were able to taste a variety of foods at many restaurants and met lots of kind local people. She always made sure we were taken care of knew a lot of history about Chiang Mai and the area. Thank you Purichat! "
